Can we please have an alternative to the auction market? Every time certain users start bidding, I already know I'm going to lose. So my other options are to find someone who has the same item in their usershops that hasn't been sniped yet, or to hope my pets will find the item on a hoard, and who knows how long that could take. Either way, it's not fair that users with more money are able to dominate the market like this.

Hey again @Wind, sorry to hear that you're having a frustrating experience with the auction market.

Much as I love Pixpet and will stand by it, the auction market admittedly has always been hard to defend. I'll try not to write a wall of text, but basically it wasn't really made with new players in mind. As Lorie pretty much said, the auctions are more for people who are trying to get the most money possible for desirable items/eggs/pixinytes, so naturally it's dominated by richer players (which can be good for you IF you have a desirable item to auction, lol). And that would be totally fine if the auction market wasn't front and center like it currently is.

(See Cherche's post below) And Lorie is correct that egg trading is planned via usershops (not sure about pixinytes), but I don't remember whether our coder is currently being asked to prioritize something else, or if that's just taking a while because of how rigid the code is. @Cherche may be able to clarify a bit (or correct me) when she has time.

Other than that, Lorie has pretty much said everything I wanted to say lol. Dealers Den (both on forums and discord) is your best bet since sometimes people forget or lose motivation to restock their usershops, but the items you want are certainly out there in someone's inventory lol.

Either way, we definitely hear you and stuff is being done, just slowly! :x

@_@ sorry for the slow reply, been a busy busy week.

Yeah due to the original nature of the code there were some complications trying to alter things like this without breaking the site :X if we ever come up with a solution for it, will make announcement.
